Customer Reviews

okay, but the color looks a little cheap
I bought this to coordinate with some oil rubbed bronze faucets and fixtures. The color is actually a little shiny and coppery compared to what I hoped to match. However, this item is solid and well made. Aside from the color, I would recommend it.

Solid, looks good
Does the job. Looks good and solid. If you like the color, I'd recommend it.

Good Enough
Fairly simple to install - requires two wall plugs in wall.
You can tear off a piece with one hand, but the holder itslef does not rotate as you would expect it slightly resists the rotation of the roll itself and emits an amusing "fart" noise when used
It's good enough. Not 100% convinced the thing will stay on the wall forever because obviously it is constantly being tugged and is only secured from one side.
Sometimes the the arm becomes unscrewed after a lot of use and needs to be screwed back into the wall mounting bracket.

I would prefer a ratcheting dispenser, but couldn't find one that was wall mounted.
